Teacher Appreciation Day 4

Here we are, the last of the teacher appreciation gifts.  I failed to get pictures of the inside of the second box, but you get the idea.  I filled each box with 6 handmade cards, envelopes, and a small cellophane bag with a couple pecan turtles.

Paper: Groovy Guava, Purely Pomegranete, Kiwi Kiss (SU!), Patterened Papers: Raspberry Tart, Ginger Blossoms (SU!)

Punch: Small Oval (SU!)
Embossing Folder: Swiss Dots (Cuttlebug)

Fortunate Teacher Appreciation

Filled these empty take out boxes with individually wrapped fortune cookies.  I added glimmer mist, but I don't think it's very obvious from the photos.  These were the easiest gifts!

Supplies:

Take-Out Boxes

Fortune Cookies (La Choy)

Teal Ribbon (Michaels)

Red shimmer cardstock (Michaels)

Smooch Spritz Vanilla Shimmer (SU!)

Circle Punch (Mervy)

Downloadable tags found Here.

The above link also has a free download for a 'generic' tag of Fortunate to have You - great for spouses or kids or whoever needs to feel appreciated!

Teacher Appreciation Day 2

I was up super late working on these ones.  I purchased plastic, reusable coffee cups (or in my case, hot cocoa cups ;) ) and added some cellophane bags of mini donuts.  Complete with pink ribbon.  I was searching the internet for a good carrier for this lovely cup and donut combo.  Wouldn't you know, I'd find it on Lauren Meader's shop?

Terracotta and Aqua

Great color combo!  I thought I'd do something different and pair up this striking Terracotta with Aqua.  I think it turned out great!  My only complaint, maybe I should have clear embossed the sentiment to help it stand out as it was stamped over the medallion image.

Paper: Aqua Mist, Terracotta Tile (PTI)
Ink: Vintage Cream  (PTI)
Ribbon: Aqua Mist Satin (PTI)
Corner Rounder: Corner Chomp

cQc#95 and FTL#151

This week's Color Q challenge colors are fabulous!  I had not taken a good look at the new Stampin' Up! In Colors but I must say, I love them!  Since I didn't have any of them on hand, I improvised with what was available.

Oh My Heavens!  Can you believe this embossing powder?!!!  I think I'm in LOVE!  This is the new Recollections embossing powder (by Michaels stores) in Glacier.  On top of that gorgeous blue - perfection!  I can't wait to try it on tons of dark colors.  I was seriously laying in bed this morning thinking I need to try it on Kraft cardstock.  I held myself back and didn't buy any other colors, but they had bright pink, chartreuse green, champagne, baby blue.... I could go on!  I've gotta try them ALL -bwa ha ha! ;)

Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill Basics (color unknown), Berry Sorbet, Whisper White
Ink: Versamark, Close to Cocoa
Stamps: Sentiment, Mehndi Medallion (PTI)
Butterfly Punch (Martha Stewart) Apron Scallop punch (Fiskars)
Embossing Powder: Glacier (Recollections)
Brown crinkle ribbon (SU!)

Chartreuse Birthday

Here's a B-Day card I made for one of my sisters in law.  I like the black and chartreuse color combo.  I think I'll have to try it again sometime.

Stamps: Boho Blooms (SU), Mat Stack 2, Birthday Girl sentiment (PTI)

Simply Chartreuse satin ribbon
